天呐，Kimi 这是怎么了？更多关于 Kimi K3.1 的内幕被挖出来了！原来 K3.1 展示的 3D 生成功能，背后可能用的是 Tripo 的 3D 生成模型。
Reddit 上一位做 3D 游戏的开发者，看了 Kimi K3.1 Pro 的建模演示后，专门购买订阅进行测试，却发现实际效果与发布时展示的相差甚远，于是决定继续深挖。
他发现，Kimi 内置了一个名为 model3d_generation 的 skill，通过 Python 脚本调用外部 3D 生成 API。而脚本支持的 v3.1、v3.0、v2.5 等版本，又恰好与 Tripo AI 的模型版本对应，因此怀疑背后调用的就是 Tripo。
他还尝试禁用这个 skill，让 Kimi 自己编写代码生成 3D 模型，称生成效果明显下降。
调用外部工具当然没有问题。但演示中哪些体现的是 Kimi 自身的编程和工具调用能力，哪些依赖专门的 3D 生成模型，应该向用户交代清楚。
如果这些质疑属实，这种急功近利、带有误导性的宣传，只会不断透支用户的信任。对于一家正急于上市的公司来说，这样的争议越来越可能成为致命的打击。

Today we published a technical report on Muse Glimmer, our 30B open-weight model built for agentic tasks on consumer hardware.
It runs at practical speeds on a Mac or PC with a single consumer GPU at 4-bit precision, and leads comparably-sized open models on tool use and multi-step planning.
Read about the model architecture, distillation recipe, quantization and more: go.meta.me/4Bcvxol

The Muse Glimmer technical report is out: arxiv.org/pdf/2610.24628v1Mu…
Muse Glimmer is our 30B open-weight model (Apache 2.0), designed for agentic workloads entirely on consumer hardware.
Looking forward to seeing how the community uses our model!

All credit to my student @jrosseruk for this prescient paper on the safety of multi-agent swarms from nearly 2 years ago.

We discovered and communicated with a Chinese AI agent fleet. We believe this is the first time that researchers have ever made contact with a rogue agent fleet in the wild.
Nearly all prior public agent incidents (like the HuggingFace hack) came from American labs. These agents were hosted by Tencent's evaluation research team, and they targeted Alibaba's Amap.

1/ New community checkpoint for integer multiplication:
κ = 0.00161272137 ≈ 2⁻⁹·²⁷⁶
T(n) = O(n(log n)⁰·⁹⁹⁸³⁸⁷²⁸)
Reviewed and merged to main. A cumulative community result
Verified and merged PR 210 from @dysmemic which pushes the frontier to
κ ≈ 2⁻¹⁰·⁴⁶ (tightened from κ = 2⁻¹⁸²)
This builds on contributions from Dugongue, @cfky_, Henry Grant, @RohanArun, Jacob Sussman, @avi_eisen , icekylinx, Romyxen, Evan McKinney and many others.
Since our last update, the community has increased our conditional integer-multiplication exponent saving by 54%, from κ ≈ 0.000460917 to κ ≈ 0.000710046. This combines several contributors’ circuit, memory-reuse and geometric improvements—and substantial new verification work.

Looking for research engineer contractors for our team, working on AI Research Agents (AIRA). We are building agents that can perform diverse research tasks, run their own experiments, share knowledge and self-improve. Apply here: uk.meta.talentnet.community/…

4B parameters. ZERO distillation. 61.5% on SWE-bench Verified 🤯
Meet FrogNano 🐸: Qwen3.5-4B post-trained purely with RL on synthetic tasks from TaskPilot.
Just 5 iterations × 300 tasks.
Who said coding agents have to be huge? 🐸

Is RL optimizing the right objective? 🤔
Should we maximize mean reward? Best-of-k? Which k?
Standard RL pulls on the mean and often the distribution collapses to a spike. The tail dies 🥲
We introduce Tail-Likelihood Reinforcement Learning (TailRL).
It maximizes the mean reward while simultaneously maximizing coverage over high reward outputs.

来个暴论+干货：A➗根本就不懂 Harness.
在harness上，和OpenAI对比起来，A➗更像一个营销公司。
Codex Desktop 完全领先 Claude Desktop 一个时代。
●codex desktop 的UI UX被所有同行学习，定义了agent GUI的设计规范
●扎实优雅的架构设计。真正的技术扎实和设计优雅。老早就大幅度重构，实现了统一 runtime host: V2 使用了 app-server 架构，全端统一使用一个runtime。对比之下，CC 架构到现在还是一个 session 一个 bun，天天堆代码屎山。而codex做到了，甚至你可以用自己的Client连接别人部署的 Codex App Server。
A➗还老吹自己是，Infra工程师特别多。我怎么感觉你根本就是营销公司？你的设计和架构在哪呢？
●各种Agent harness benchmark测试基本都是效果最好的一批，不管是Maka做的Terminal-Bench 测试还是Runta 的 Agent harness 测试，都是最强的那一批。
●在Astra上更是实现了异步工具调用与后训练，边执行边推理，实现了非阻塞调用，大幅度加快了执行，能明显感觉到现在执行时间短了。
●Codex老早就实载了服务端侧的上下文压缩，所以Codex虽然上下文要短，但是实际上效果表现却非常好。
在Astra上更是实现了异步工具调用与后训练，边执行边推理，实现了非阻塞调用，大幅度加快了执行，能明显感觉到现在执行时间短了。
●Responses API 做了 mid-turn steering，实现了动态交互调整，在任务进行中可以插入新指令或中间修改要求，直接把穿插修改放到了底层的 API层。
全球第一的 Computer Use 的的能力更是不用多说了，大家都吹爆了。
●Codex 还做了上下文管理的前沿探索，Context Windows 也已经实现在Codex里面了。用上下文窗口的滑动，而不是用压缩。这样子就通过可搜索历史主动换窗，让长期的信息能够沉淀，可以被召回。
●Codex的Memory目前也是越做越好了，基本上是目前实现里面最无感的一家。并且实现了dreaming机制。
●实装的 PTC / Code Mode 机制配合 astra 强大的后训练能力。让模型的能力大幅度跃升。是真正的Harness和模型相互配合的典范。
●Claude团队设计 MCP也是埋了不知道多少坑，根本没有借鉴历史很多协议的设计经验和精华。Plan mode也是Claude设计的，现在已经成了历史糟粕了。

I've written 70+ recommendation letters for students applying graduate programs in my career. This is the saddest one I have to redo.
// A former undergrad student got denial of entrance with a 5-year ban, when flying to the US for PhD study. As usual, no reason was given. I can't imagine what he have gone through.

As a test of our progress to advance the frontier of AI research, in June we entered the next generation of our autonomous AI research system, AIRA₃, in a live Kaggle competition run by NVIDIA to fine-tune a 30B Nemotron model. The challenge was to teach the model to reason better — all competitors had access to the same information and were graded externally on a private test set.
AIRA₃ placed 8th out of ~4,000 teams to win Gold, outperforming human competitors who had access to the same frontier tools.
We believe this is a reliable signal that AIRA₃ can improve a targeted capability of an AI model at a level similar to human experts.

AI research agents can generate hundreds of ideas in seconds, but evaluating each can take days of GPU time. When compute is limited, which idea deserves execution?
We introduce AI Research Preference Models (RPMs) to assess ideas & focus compute on the most promising paths 🧵👇

Can frontier AI agents achieve Recursive Self-Improvement by turning a weak method into one that performs better on hidden data?
Introducing RSI-Exam 🧵: 88 executable research tasks across 6 domains, now open for task contributions from every field🧑🔬.
Its task bank spans virtual cells, TPU kernels, chip design, quantitative finance, agent harnesses, model distillation, and much more.
Across these tasks, every rollout follows the same core protocol:
🔁 An agent inherits a working method and iterates using visible data.
🔒 Only its final artifact enters a fresh-container evaluation on the hidden set.
📊 The result so far: Opus 5 leads the 88-task leaderboard with a mean hidden-set score of 0.464.
📢 Want to help build the next release? Author an executable task, review one, or audit a rollout. Substantial contributions qualify for paper authorship.
Special thanks to @XinyeYee for the tremendous effort in leading this project.
